The sacking of the Reich
Allied Rape Day
German women were raped by members of Russian, Polish, French and American forces during and at the end of World War II. During their flight to the West and the period of expulsions, German girls and women were also raped by Czechs, Serbs and Slovenes.
The combined armies of the British, Soviet and American armed forces occupied and dismembered Germany, which was no longer a land of dignity. All means of degradation and humiliation were applied to the defeated German survivors of the Allied Holocaust.
When the Red Army advanced towards Berlin in 1945, the city had become virtually devoid of men. Out of a civilian population of 2,700,000, 2 million were women. It is therefore not surprising that the fear of sexual assault has spread throughout the city as a scourge. Doctors were besieged by patients looking for information on the fastest way to commit suicide and the poison was in high demand.
Sadistic American troops, especially when subjecting women to interrogation, committed rape, in addition to the physical torture they routinely practiced.
Following the surrender of the German armed forces (the elected government in Berlin refused to surrender and was therefore arrested, charged and many were hanged), horrific torture began to be inflicted on the captives who had surrendered, both military and civilian.
Millions of German women and girls were raped. It is estimated that there are about two million rapes. Ingo von Münch calculates 1.4 million rapes for the territory east of the Oder and Neiße lines, and about 500,000 in the former GDR.
The plundering of Defeated Germany
Only now can history break the media's censorship of real history:
"The ransacking of Germany after its unconditional surrender will go down in history as one of the most monstrous acts of modern times. Its excessive description and magnitude defy condemnation." Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest; 1947. Institute of American Economics.
Ralph Franklin Keeling didn't mince words:
"When we arrived, the Germans were strongly anti-communist; since then, they have started to flee our area and enter Russia where they are welcomed into the Communist Party and even the Red Army, in whose ranks they may one day be able to take revenge on us."
The mainstream media does not describe the extent of the looting of Germany defeated by the Allies. During its conquest, Germany's wealth was the first to be liberated. Every house and apartment was searched and stripped of everything of value and movable property, jewelry, silverware, works of art, clothing, household appliances and money.
Shops, boutiques and warehouses were ransacked. Farms have been deprived of their animals, machinery, seed stocks, fodder, wine and food. The telephones were removed, the telegraph equipment dismantled. Cars, trucks, and even fire engines were seized. American, Russian and British troops found themselves kneeling in front of the remains of a standard of living that most could only dream of.
William H. G. Stoneman, foreign correspondent, Chicago Daily News, May 1945:
"Millions of dollars of rare things ranging from complex Zeiss lenses to butter and cheese and expensive automobiles are being destroyed because the military has not organized a system for recovering precious enemy material."
The term "recovery" is a euphemism for looting.
He then described, scattered all over the place, millions of dollars of looted property. The troops simply couldn't carry everything they could steal, so they vandalized and let it rot. It is estimated that the value of the goods looted by the Allied armies amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars and "deprived the German civilian population of the comfort and basic necessities they so badly needed."
In a stunning display of chutzpah, the Soviets complained about this:
"U.S. officials stole material from factories in an area meant to be shipped to Russia and sold it to foreign countries at a profit."
The Chicago Sunday Tribune, which at the time was much more honest than today's media, was damning:
"No effective measures were taken to discourage looting by invading armies during the war. It was tolerated under a euphemism such as "collecting memories."
More than 200 masterpieces of German art have been looted by the U.S. armed forces and are still held under lock and key in the United States. The British were also pirates:
"The British seem to be everywhere when there is scientific or industrial information to glean."
The plundering of Germany was accompanied by the elimination of its means of trade: shipbuilding production, the manufacture and operation of aircraft, ball and tapered roller bearings, all heavy machine tools, heavy materials, aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, vanadium, radioactive materials, hydrogen peroxide, synthetic oils, gasoline, ammonia, has ceased.
Ralph F. Keeling:
"German science has been destroyed, and with it the German ability to compete commercially with the victors of the war."
He goes on to say:
"German science was destroyed, and with it the German ability to compete commercially with the victors of the war: we even managed to kidnap many of them in the western Russian zone when we withdrew to let the Russians take over. As a result, we now have at our disposal hundreds of German scientists who undoubtedly constitute one of our most profitable acquisitions taken from the fallen Reich."
Assistant Secretary of State William L. Clayton was equally outspoken in June 1945:
"We intend to obtain full disclosure of all existing German technology and inventions for the benefit of the United Nations (sic)."
America's pre-war isolationist policies have come to an end. In 1945, Winston Churchill, the unelected prime minister of bankrupt Britain, had placed much of the British Empire's assets with Wall Street pawnshops. Swollen by war looting, the now expansionist United States would continue its ill-gotten gains for the next 75 years.
Nick Cook, aerospace consultant for Jane's Defence Weekly, wrote in the Daily Mail on 19 August 2001:
"Much of the (American) expertise in anti-gravity dates back decades earlier and from National Socialist Germany in particular. Much of what formed the basis of Skunk Works's (Lockheed) projects came from German technology and expertise looted by the Allies at the end of World War II. Germany was a treasure trove of sought-after technologies, ranging from armaments and electronics to textiles and medicine."
Britain's Ian Fleming, who would later write the James Bond novels, set up what was practically a private army tasked with "diving into technology." However, the British were ill-prepared to take advantage of the opportunities before them. The most resourceful (rapacious) Americans simply removed the paperwork for hundreds of thousands of patents and sent them home. According to the U.S. Bureau of Technical Services, the body created to ensure the rapid transfer of German technology into U.S. industry, the documents contained a host of documents that "most likely contained virtually all of the scientific, industrial, and military secrets of National Socialist Ger
many."
Under the term "reparations", millions of Germans were transported to soviet gulags to be used as slaves. Most of these unfortunates, including women and children, were locked in American-made rolling stock and transported on a railway infrastructure built on the basis of slavery and using Western materials.
Ralph Keeling says:
"In Potsdam, Russia was awarded the lion's share of the reparations. It was to receive its own zone (East Germany/East Berlin) plus 25% from other areas."
The value of the German factory bombed and beaten was estimated at between $5 billion and $10 billion; half was in the Russian zone and was now owned by the Soviet Union "by right of conquest". It was agreed that 40% of these facilities could be transferred to the USSR. Three hundred and ten factories were dismantled and therefore removed.
They're gone:
"Six shipments of ships carrying the material goods of the Deschmag shipyard, Germany's largest shipbuilding company. Twenty machine and tool cars worth $5,000,000, representing half of Germany's largest ball bearing plant, the $10,000,000 Gendorf Amorgana chemical plant and the vast underground Daimler-Benz aircraft engine plant."
According to The Commissioner for Reparations, Edwin W. Pauley, the United States had reserved 144 factories for transfer to Russia. Many of Germany's largest producers of civilian goods were dismantled and shipped eastward. Among them were the two largest factories, the largest sugar refineries, the largest grain mills in Europe, the large Bemberg silk factories, famous for their stockings and lingerie, and the Zeiss Optical factory in Jena. All secondary railway lines were dismantled and all-electric locomotives were removed. Two hundred key factories were placed under direct Russian control, with the 1,300,000 German workers receiving a living wage, with profits going to the USSR.
"Russia is also eager to get as much loot as possible to contribute to the success of its five-year plan, and ultimately to absorb the Reich into the Soviet Union."
